NEYLAND took another giant step towards retaining their league title as they not only beat Lawrenny but defied the weather in doing so to pick up maximum points as Nick Koomen and Ashley Sutton were able to celebrate unbeaten centuries in the process.

Both scored 107 not out after Sean Hannon (13) had been shifted early by Jamie Lewis, with Koomen stroking 11 boundaries whilst Sutton continued his recent superb form with five fours and five sixes.

They also ran well between the wickets in an undefeated stand of 218 runs, with 48 of those coming in the last five overs as Neyland piled on the pressure.
